I am thinking of a Lezyne or similar GPS computer for the roadie, and have two questions:
Currently on the roadie I have a Cateye Strada Slim basic bike computer and use iPhone to link to Strava for elevation etc on all rides.
I like the basic computer as it has two functions I consider essential:
If I get a Lezyne or something, do the GPS units record speed from a wheel sensor, or from satellite GPS connection? I like to sprint downhills, and short sections and compare top speed so GPS is surely less accurate in those situations. Can I add a wheel speed sensor for better accuracy?
Does a GPS unit always keep odometer data for ALL riding even if you don't have the record function set?

I like the basic computer as it has two functions I consider essential:
- Accurate speed with the wheel sensor - when I compare GPS speeds on a ride the GPS accuracy for speed seems way off.
- Odometer always running - I like to keep good track of how many KMs I ride on the roadie, and will reset the computer to record away from home base, so I can have accurate data on repeatable sections.
